BIG watch nut here. I have always worn one while playing and it's never bothered me one bit. And I typically play with my Panerai...and that is HUGE. But again, it does not effect me one bit.

I tried to wear a watch while I was golfing before. Made a bad swing and it left a nasty gouge in my fore arm.

Do you wear a watch when playing, or am I just odd?

Yeah you are a bit odd!!!!

I am the same way, although i do not wear a watch much in my normal daily life, but i do however wear my Trion Z's all day ever day.

I could never play golf with a watch on.

[Montrove]

just cant wear it, it slides around every where on my skinny wrists.

[victork]

I can't wear my watch, it's too big and cumbersome and would move around too much on my wrist.

[bobcat]

All the ho's wear the new TM "SuperQuartz" watch which is of course only available in black for now. It features MWT which stands for "Matching Watch Time" according to the TM Rep I spoke with.

Like the Driver it was named for the SuperQuartz also features eMOI which was not specifically defined by the TM Rep I spoke with, but it most likely means every Month Old Inventory.

[tariq]

i play with my watch on...i CANT play without it...and it has to be a heavier watch too. gaming watch Swatch Irony Stainless steel chrono...everyday watch, Explorer 2, or Bell&Ross military...non chrono, AP Annual Calender...
I'm a bit of a watch ho and collector

even when i played competitive tennis i had to wear my watch...tossing the ball with my left hand with the watch on always felt more control...i know thats weird...makes me weird

its like counter balance

[evoviiiyou]

I tried a couple of times, but my Cartier Roadster is huge on my wrist and gets in the way...it seems. I like the feeling of no watch for golf.

[wrf100]

Omega Constellation on the left(midsize) and Trion z on the right!

[Shaitan]

I've done a few practice swings with my watch on before and nearly broke my wrist (not really but that's how it felt). I hate having anything bulky on during golf. No watches, no jewellery, even annoying when I have more then one tee in either of my front pockets (It's better in the back pocket).

And for those who need to know the time - look at the shadows from the sun lol

[PixlPutterman]

i do because it helps keep me from going past parallel

[WildcatCoach]

I personally like as little on my hands and wrists as possible. No watches or ID bands.



A buddy of mine just got married last summer and he wears his wedding band while he plays. All my other buddies won't wear their rings because it messes with their grips.



I'm only 25, so hopefully I don't have to worry about the wedding ring problem anytime soon!

[tmtp]

I can't wear a watch when I play, but do have a Sabona bracelet on my right wrist whenever I play, for some reason that never bothered me, but the watch does.

[morganj]

never take it off. when you pay as much as i did for a watch, i get buried with it.

Panerai definitely the way to go if you're wearing a JL style get-up... a bit more classic then I like the JLC Reverso Grand Taille (face turned around in honour of those polo playing colonials it was designed for ) when in a more classic rig, GMT Master II or Seamaster for Nike/Adidas gear and IWC (Portuguese Perpetual II - way to big to play in) for the club house - especially for the more upmarket places.

I like watches

[16pars2birdies]

Never felt comfortable with a watch on. I was always messing with it and it just became a distraction.

[Extreme Firepower]

nautica titanium chrono, being a club ho, it's beta and lightweight so doesn't
bug me. burst a few leather straps on impact on old watchs so titanium bracelet is the only thing that handles the huge forces of my 130mph swing

(tongue firmly in cheek)

[The Boom Bapp]

Never leave mine at home.

Worn upon left wrist during every round.

Hey, Ride! I knew you were a PAM freak, but didn't know you were a golf freak, too! Small world--or, Internet, rather, huh?

I, too, am a huge watch fan (and a fan of huge watches, I guess), but I don't wear one on the course. To me, it'd be like playing with your wallet or keys in your pants. I mean, why bother? Why have something on you that keeps you from being as free/quick-moving as possible? If you need to know the time while you're out there, then I say keep your phone/watch in the cart/your golf bag. I wear a watch 100% of the time otherwise -- just not while I'm playing golf.

And Ride, you're nuts for wearing a PAM on the course! You're probably pushing/slicing everything since you can't get your left arm to come around quickly enough. LOL

/< / /2 /< (aka Kirk M. on 'risti)

[jonnyb03]

no watch, no ring, no wallet, no cell phone actually nothing but a tee and divot repair tool and a ball mark.

[Milo]

Depends what time it is.

[CaledoniaKid]

Many of you have some sweet looking watches out there, but I'm surprised. I don't even own a watch and coming in JUNE I'll never again..



That's how I'll tell time and tune out these flock of geese on the course, ringer off so not to be any distraction of course

[greyman09]

I wear a Livestrong band on my wrist and my wedding ring. I could not wear a watch and play golf.

[littlepingman]

This is one of the nicest looking watches I have seen in a long time. But at 599.99, I think I will have to pass....

I will not wear anything on my wrists whilst playing golf. It doesn't feel 'right' to me and it distracts me when I'm concentrating on my grip/setup etc.

Ditto...wedding band comes off as well...J

[dubai_hacker]

I always play with a watch, dont feel any different playing with out without a watch. But my watch is on 24/7 so just got use to wearing it.

[mljones99]

I don't wear my watch on the course because I tend to wear my watches a little loose and don't want them sliding up and down my wrist during my swing.

[theboom]

no watch. i even take off my wedding ring. dont like the bulk.

[BigMike300c]

i where a watch 24-7 my fav watch for the course is my bobby jones with a black rubber strap

[jscw]

This is my golf watch. It stayed in my golf bag most of the time and I only wear it when playing golf.
It's very light, I hardly feels its weight. Besides it is automatic movement. I don't need to worry about battery.

[w8liftr]

No watch for me while playing, although I just received a nice Citizen EcoDrive Calibre 2100 for Father's Day.

[DChesler]

I'm a lefty, I wear my watch on my left wrist, and it only comes off in the shower. I feel strange without it on, and it's a fairly heavy piece too.

[chjoak]

Don't wear any jewelry when playing. I have broken 4 or 5 watch bands and I have never felt comfortable wearing rings when performing any type of physical activity.

[Trxjw]

My cellphone has completely eliminated my need for a watch... don't know if thats a good or a bad thing.

[gopher59]

I just stick the watch in the bag with the cell phone (turned off!).

[blopar]

didn't ......until I found the right watch--TAG Tiger Woods professional golf edition with silastic band and stem on left )to avoid pinching wrist when worn on left wrist). Remember, always play with your watch on or off--as Frank Thomas pointed out on the golf channel website, the watch on your wrist actually acts like a butt end weight and changes the performance/swingweight characteristics of your left arm-shaft "system" .
